this is getting ridiculous

so this is my 3rd blog.

i attracted some awful, obnoxious, quasi-creepy reader on my first blog, who then followed me onto my second one (which i didn't realize until they started leaving lovely comments again).

so here's my 3rd attempt - which my dear sister leslie asked me to start and showed me how to make private. (she also compiled a nice list of people's email addresses to invite to read - thanks les!)

see. . .i'm going to oxford in the fall for a masters in african studies, and she wants an insight into the world of robes, dining halls, you know - the usual for a university founded in the 12th century. (i'm really curious about it all as well of course - i already feel out of place, and i'm not even at school there yet.) and besides, i really don't mind the distraction of a blog. i should be writing a paper on montaigne right now - but this is a much more pleasant way to spend my time.

so another reason to get excited about moving to oxford, by the way: i discovered last night that dhani harrison, george harrison's son who looks exactly like him, currently resides in oxfordshire. hey - he's only 6 years older than me. you never know. . .
